Yodelay he hoo! On this day in 1959, Disneyland’s Matterhorn
opened to the public, giving Guests the opportunity to ride down the icy
slopes of the majestic mountain in bobsleds. In 1958, when Walt Disney
was on location in Switzerland, he saw the Matterhorn and knew he wanted
that in Disneyland, where anything is possible. The Matterhorn, was
built to 1/100th scale of the original size, complete with real trees
grown in the Rocky Mountains. The Matterhorn Bobsleds have their
placed carved out in roller coaster history as being the first coaster
built on round tubular tracks, as well as having a unique ride control
system to become the first to have more than one coaster on the track at
a time. The original name Matterhorn is derived from the words “matte”
meaning “meadow” and “horn” meaning peak. And speaking of translations,
this attraction taught millions of people how to say, “Remain seated,
please” in Spanish, “Permanecer sentados, por favor.”

Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
